POSK - The Polish Social & Cultural Association Ltd was founded by the Polish community. It involves and is run by people of all ages and backgrounds to provide a strong Polish focus in London and to draw on what is happening in the cultural life of Poland. It offers a chance to meet and make friends, to relax in a Polish atmosphere, to buy and borrow books and magazines, to see the latest Polish films, Polish plays or cabaret - often invited from Poland. Most of the leading lights of the Polish stage have performed at POSK at one time or another. POSK is open to and welcomes people of all nationalities. But most of all, even if you do not speak Polish, we want you to see POSK as 'your home away from home' whenever you feel a yearning for things Polish.
